If you just buy the chip "dirt cheap", you still need the board and peripheral components, the programming software, the cable between computer and your board.....
Why not go for a complete starter pack, like

It costs US$26.-- (within your budget), you have everything you need, and the programming is ever so simple, you can even use a flow chart and the software converts it into a program for you!

Start with a PIC 12F675 uController (from microchip, corp in Phoenix, AZ) simply because it's dirt cheap ($1.25.ea) and it has a 10-bit analog to digital converter on the chip. You might also take a look at some of their circuit ideas at microchips website for ideas.
Maybe a heater to keep an oscillator crystal at
60°C? An inexpensive, 3 wire temperature sensor (with an I2C interface protocol) is only a couple of dollars.
Good luck.

Are you supposed to design a microcontroller on an FPGA board? Or are you supposed to buy a microcontroller and then use it in some way? Please expand.
